Quorra is the confidante and apprentice of Kevin Flynn. Flynn has shared his knowledge of the real world with her, and as such, she longs to experience what lies outside the realm of possibility in her own world. She was the last known ISO alive in the Grid and is referred to by Kevin Flynn as "The Miracle".

History

1989

Quorra Evolution

Prior to the conflict between the Basics and ISOs, Quorra was friends with Radia. She attempted to meet up with Radia before her installation ceromony, though was intervened by two System Monitors who argued with her. Frustrated with the Monitors, she decided to "get authorization" herself, making Tron skeptical and sending the newly written system monitor, Anon, to go after her. Upon witnessing Clu's betrayal, Quorra believed Kevin Flynn and Tron were dead and soon met up with Anon. Quorra and Anon decided to make it their goal to notify everyone of Flynn and Tron's demise.

The duo went to the End of Line Club and were greeted by the Club's owner, Castor. Quorra informed Castor of Clu's new ruler ship of the Grid, confusing him before Quorra informed him that Flynn and Tron were deceased. In one simple wipe of her disc, Castor gave Quorra the ability to control a Solar Sailer, to which she thanked him and was told to find Radia as she was able to spread information faster than anyone. The conversation between Quorra and Castor was interrupted when Clu's carrier ship destroyed the club. After the club's destruction, Quorra realized Clu's motives, but she, along with Anon, were attacked by a Black Guard, who Quorra identified as one of the many Black Guards who "Derezzed" Tron. Immediately there after, Quorra shouted to Anon to meet her at the Solar Sailer docks.

Upon meeting up with Quora at the docks, they both boarded a Solar Sailer to Arjia City in an effort to warn Radia. When Quorra notified Radia however, she discovered that Kevin Flynn was alive. Radia also commanded Quorra to inform more ISO factions, though she also urged her to be cautious.

Flynn Rescues Quorra

After the Purge, she attempted to kill Clu but was rescued by Anon and they escaped using a Recognizer. However, the Recognizer crashed and Anon sacrificed himself allowing Quorra to survive. She was then stranded in the Outlands. With her energy depleted, she collapsed as her systems began shutting down, only to be saved by Flynn at the last moment.[1]

Meeting Paige

Some time after the ensuing ISO War, Quorra was back on the Grid, traveling with a fellow ISO named Ada. Paige, then a medic, helped Quorra beat off a couple of street programs who had attacked Ada. After treating Ada's injuries, Paige commented that Quorra's code was incredibly complex; Quorra ruefully took the remark as a compliment, and introduced herself and Ada as Basic refugees from a city which had been destroyed in the War because ISOs had been found there.

She also complimented Paige's musical skill, and remarked that although Paige hadn't been programmed for music, she could probably learn anything she set her mind to. Their growing friendship was interrupted when, as Quorra was showing Paige a self-defense move, her sleeve slipped and Paige was appalled to see the ISO symbol on her arm. Quorra begged her to keep quiet, but Paige's colleague Rox guessed their identity and reported them to the authorities. Before escaping with Ada, Quorra knocked Paige out so she wouldn't be implicated, saying that although Paige might hate ISOs from then on, "at least she'll be alive."[2]

Quorra watched from a top as Sam Flynn was taken to the Light Cycle Grid, she soon met Sam in person when she charged onto the Light Cycle Grid and rescued him from Clu, introducing herself to Sam and bringing him to his father's hideout in the Outlands. Gradually forming a bond with Sam, she told him about the library of User books she'd read her way through (her favorites were by Jules Verne, and when Sam recognize the name, she asked excitedly, "What's he like?"), the ENCOM 511 Lightcycle (still "the fastest thing on the Grid"), and games of Go with Kevin ("his patience usually beats out my more aggressive strategies"), who had been teaching her about "the art of the selfless -- how to remove oneself from the equation." Quorra, Sam and FLynn had dinner and the three discussed the Coup against Kevin Flynn as well as the Purge.

Quorra and Jules Verne book

Though she didn't disagree openly when Kevin counseled patience, Sam's urgency inspired her to secretly send him to her old friend Zuse, the only program who could potentially help him get to the Portal. She was upset when Kevin insisted on following, and preceded him to the End of Line Club, only to back Sam up once more when it turned out that Zuse, a friend no longer, had betrayed him to Clu. While fighting the Black Guards that had arrived to capture Sam, she was critically wounded with her arm partially derezzed, causing her to shut down and lapse into a catatonic state.

Sam and Kevin then took her aboard a Solar Sailer headed for the Portal. Once aboard, Kevin set about repairing her code in order to restore her arm and reboot her systems, during which time he explained to Sam that she was the last known ISO alive. Quorra woke up in a horrified manner, to which Sam comforted her. Quorra realizing the Black Guard had obtained Kevin Flynn, started to regret sending Sam to Zue, to whcih Sam calmed her by admitting he himself also mad mistakes. When Sam asked how she met Flynn she explained how she met Sam's father and listened to his stories about the physical world outside of the system, asking him to describe a sunrise, since the closest analogy she'd had to compare to one was the far dimmer light of the Portal.

While en route, their Solar Sailer unexpectedly rendezvoused with a gigantic carrier ship. The trio abandoned the Solar Sailer and began sneaking through the carrier. Rinzler, still on their trail, nearly discovered them, but Quorra, drawing upon Kevin's teachings about the art of the selfless, drew Rinzler's attention and allowed herself to be captured, so that Sam and Kevin could get away. Upon being presented to Clu and recognized as an ISO, she told him contemptuously that she had seen what Users were like and that he didn't belong with them, and was taken to Clu's Command Ship for Clu to deal with later. She shouted at Sam to leave when he broke into the Command Ship to rescue her, but together they broke away from Rinzler, retrieving Kevin's captured identity disc in the process. Escaping the Command Ship, they reunited with Kevin and fled in a stolen Light Jet.

Being a skilled pilot, Quorra took the controls of the Light Jet and the trio escaped Carrier ship. While flying above the Sea of Simulation, Quorra had noticed Clu and his Black Guards flying Light Jets directly behind them, to which Sam manned the tail gun. Together they destroyed most of the pursuing Light Jets and narrowly escaped. After the battle, Kevin asked her to do something for him, and she agreed. With their Light Jet heavily damaged, Quorra crash landed near the steps of the Portal, only to find Clu there waiting for them. While Kevin delayed Clu, Quorra, threatening pursuit with her light-sword, escorted Sam to the Portal, leaving Clu foiled as she revealed that she and Kevin had secretly switched identity discs; she handed Sam his father's disc, and together they made their escape.

Quorra Sunrise Final

Once entering the Real World, Quorra became a flesh-and-blood human. Outside of Flynn's Arcade, Quorra leaned on a street lamp and asked Sam what was next, to which Sam decided to take her to see something. Quorra had her wish granted when she happily set off with Sam as he showed her the first sunrise she had ever seen.[3]

After Rinzler leaves, Quorra, Sam, and Flynn approach Sora, Quorra asks Sora for permission to view his Key Blade and Sora allows her to. Quorra appreciates Sora and incorrectly refers to him as a program, though Sora corrects her about this, and after Flynn explains what happened to Tron. Sora and Quorra decide to retrieve Tron's source code in order to revert him back to his former self. As Flynn and Sam depart, Sam tells Quorra to be careful, with Quorra doing the same as well, and after saying so, Quorra explains to Sora that in order to get to the Rectifier, they must get there through the Solar Sailer.

While searching for Tron's source code, Quorra and Sora are unable to find it, Quorra assumes that Clu 2 had his source code. Quorra and Sora soon encounter Rinzler, prompting Quorra to pull out her identity disc, but being stopped from fighting Rinzler by Sora after he asks her to let him reason with Rinzler. Quorra states that programs don't have hearts, though Sora defends his argument. After Rinzler attack them however, Quorra throws her disc at Rinzler and after retrieving it, she tells Sora that she doesn't believe that Rinzler is the friend he remembers and attempts to attack Rinzler again, though she is defeated by him however.

Quorra escapes Rinzler and encourages Sora to fight Rinzler during their disc battle. she tells Sora to bring Rinzler to his senses, and this proves successful as Sora manages to turn him back to his former self, after Rinzler falls however, Quorra stands beside Sora as he kneels down and states the the Key Blade and Sora have a special power, and in response, Sora says Quorra has a special power to make Sora see the special power. Thereafter, Quorra and Sora both become friends.

Side Riku

In Riku's story, Quorra's arm is damaged and she is unconscious, she is first seen being held in Sam's arm and her body is later seen again lying down in an elavator. On the Solar Sailer, Sam and Flynn repair Quorra's arm, and she eventually comes back to life after her arm is reparied, but after seeing Rinzler on the carrier ship that the Solar Sailer had gone to, she gives her disc to Flynn and removes herself from the equation, and after leaving, she is captured by Rinzler.

Sam and Riku rescue Quorra, and after she is is rescued, she pilots a Light Jet. Once they make it to the portal, Flynn talks to Clu, though he is kickeed by him. As Quorra tends to the fallen Flynn, he tells her to go, in which she does, and she leaves the Grid with Sam.

General information

Personality

Quorra's personality is quite innocent and at times naive. Her innocence in a social setting gives way to a form of determined passion when she is confronted by dangers, and under such circumstances she can become very protective of the people she loves. Her bravery is such that she is willing to be self-sacrificing, "removing herself from the equation", to protect those who are important to her.

Quorra likes reading books from the real world, taking a particular interest in books by Jules Verne. She even asks Sam if he knows Verne personally. Quorra bonds with Sam throughout the course of TRON: Legacy, and shares a master-student relationship with Kevin. She becomes good friends with Anon in TRON: Evolution, and is deeply affected by his loss.

Skills and Traits

Quorra piloting Light Jet

Quorra is an accomplished warrior, possessing significant skill with her light sword and her identity disc. She uses these two weapons in tandem, with the sword providing much of the striking, and occasional parries, while her disc is predominantly used for defensive actions in a similar manner to a buckler shield. Unlike most disc-users, she refrains from employing it as a thrown missile weapon, preferring instead to keep it for melee use.

Quorra is also a skilled driver and pilot, capable of guiding vehicles through complex terrestrial and aerial stunts. Her intrinsic talent allowed her to quickly master the unfamiliar controls of a Light Jet and pilot it through a protracted dog fight.

Behind the Scenes

DroppedImage-2 comped

Concept art of Quorra compared to her final appearance in the film

Inspiration

Olivia Wilde based Quorra's, specifically her hair, off of Joan of Arc. Olivia Wilde also stated she wanted Quorra to be reminiscent of a Joan of Arc in a futuristic cyberpunk world. Quorra's character was also influenced by Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, as well as other images found by Olivia WIlde and producers.[4]

Trivia

  • Quorra's name has an Italian origin meaning "heart". Early concept renders including aspects of Quorra had her named as "Paige", a name linked to an old English term meaning "attendant". In each case the meanings behind these names are very appropriate for the character of Quorra. The name Paige was later used for one of the major characters in Tron: Uprising.
  • Quorra's favorite author is Jules Verne.[3]
  • In TRON: Evolution, Quorra has blue circuitry where as in TRON: Legacy, she has white circuitry.
  • Quorra's outfit has been seen to be regularly used by various female programs.
  • In the Disney+ subtitles to the sixth episode of TRON: Uprising, Quorra's name is misspelled as "Cora."
